Everything Begins Somewhere

My kids got me involved with tumblr. My first post was June 21, 2008. Blogging has turned out to be very interesting. I particularly like spontaneous posting of photos from my phone. Slowly I am building up people I am following. I'm not very interested in current music, movies or pop culture. I am interested in family, humor,sports, business, politics and the mundane, ridiculous things in life.

oprah

Just learned that Oprah is going off the air at some point.  Can’t really say much about it since I’ve never seen it. 

Windows 7, ITunes and Audible

I almost always learn the hard way so I’ll share it here.  If you use audible.com and have it integrated with itunes and you do a clean install of Windows 7 you can run into a problem.  Audible allows you to download with 3 computers.  You can “deauthorize” a computer from that computer through itunes.  If you do the clean install of W7 audible will see it as an additional computer and if you are at the limit of 3 you can’t download from audible and you can’t “deauthorize.”  You are stuck.  You have to contact audible and have them do a reset.  Better practice is to “deauthorize” the computer before the clean install of W7.

This is what The Mighty Delaware should be.

 Having recently read the tremendous biography of Alexander Hamilton, the rap pretty much has the early part of his life correct.  Very cool.

Update on the Life of an Irrational Fan

My 50 year obsession as a fan of the Buffalo Bills continues to spin out of control.  In the last two games the Bills were outscored 42 to 0.  No, this is not a typo.  42 to 0.

Here is an example of class.  It is the epitomy of the classic sportsman being gracious in victory.  Or maybe he is just another crass, vulgar moron who should be cleaning urinals at a truck stop.  He is the owner of the Titans.

This is my great nephew Owen.  He is one cool dude and a super hero.  He calls me “guy” and refers to Ann as “guy’s girl friend.”
